Project Hail Mary
Utterly loved this film, I laughed and cryied. Very much an emotional roller-coaster.
2.5hrs whizzed by. Couldn't improve anything, Ryan is perfectly cast. Film is beautiful to look at and the music really underscores every moment deepening the emotional ride

I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025)
Dear God.. Just watch the original 1997 version and that is saying something.
This is the sequal to the sequel that no-one asked for. And the original 3rd film must have been awful for this to 'replace` it.
1.5 / 5

Can see Sam's humour in the film, but too much lile 'Triangle of Sadness' (<Better).
There's issues in the plot, mainly big character flaws. Ended up routed for no-one and so ruins it a bit. For me a preferred a different ending
There are some great scenes though
3.5 / 5

Thunderbolts
Interesting non-Avengers. Comedy character didn't work for me, some scenes brought the whole film to a screaming stop.
Some greats scenes though and the memories were awesome, but the first battle against the big bad was flat and looked awful.

Wake Up Dead Man (Knives Out)
Much better than the 2nd one. But not a patch on the 1st
Missed what makes the 1st work so well. Like Columbo it's the knowing but can't prove it, & everything turning on one fact and then all fitting together. Which the last two films don't have.

Fantastic 4
The film was likeable, but feel flat on the humour. The jokes just didn't land.
Also the there is no chemistry amongst the main characters. It felt all very cold
That is ignoring several key plot holes. Which should have been addressed to make it more rebust.

Kraven the Hunter
WTF?
So much obvious CGI that pulls you out of the film, changes in character actions so utterly unbelievable.
Some Fights scenes were pointless, & just left me laughing.
Needing ripping up and completely rewriting. Sony can't deliver a decent super hero film
1.5 / 5

Back in Action
Good fight scenes, but film felt generally flat overall. A couple of characters are highly annoying.
Nice idea, but needed to go back to the drawing board. Was trying to be an action comedy, but script not good enough - need wit and clever dialogue.

Weapons
Another original horror/thriller from the maker of Barbarian. Utterly loved this film and really didn't know where it was going.
Small cast and once the main time line played out the rest ticks along at a decent speed.
Loved the light relief at the end

Superman
More scout than perfect person. Love the human side. Just trying their best.
Not a perfect film, but goes quick enough to enjoy and the joy helps cover the odd plot holes.
Really enjoyed Krypto and his energy.
Though something lacked making it perfect

Sinners
Felt as though 40mins could have been cut easily. Some plots dropped others explained more.
Felt From Dawn Till Dusk did it better. Was stylish and well done all except one major point ('the door') but get it for the plot to move on.
Don't get the hype over it.

Got spammed by a fake @americanairlines.bsky.social American Airline customer help line over our travel nightmare last weekend. Stopped it in time
Had several people reach out pretending to be customer services. Who to trust these days? Any refund for appalling service, just post the cheque.
Got told nothing available on earlier flights and we were lucky to even have the 'confirmed' seats that we actually had this evening... Didn't even try to look at other carriers.
Lost a whole 24 hours and bad sleep. United next time possibly
@americanairlines.bsky.social
(I know they deal with complaints all the time but still) manned by three people... Oh then at 10 dropped to one person with the queue growing all the time. No thought to 'get all hands on deck' to cut through the growing masses.
at the airport as I write this, spent almost 2 hours in 'priority' queue for customer service to try and get an earlier ticket than the one we were given. Never seen service as appalling as we did. Everyone moving at a glacial pace, not enthusiasm
From this point American Airlines service became questionable.
Once landed got our new tickets for a later flight, only to find that it had also been cancelled.
we've been put up in a hotel, Very basic. Considering we were Business Class, utterly disgusted.
... First 24 hours for us has been eventful.
flight was 2hr delayed from London, business class was awesome, great food and seats.
whilst in the air we heard our connecting flight was cancelled, 'the team' would be working on replacement tickets which would be waiting for us when we landed.

Final Destination: Bloodlines
Nice add. to the rules, really enjoyed this film.
Did have a couple of issues about one element, but not enough to spoil the film.
Characters are believable, so felt invested in them.
A farewell bid to Tony Todd (a missed chance for..?)

MI: The Final Reckoning
Utter chaos and bollocks. But with utterly amazing stuns.
Will watch 4-7 any time they're on TV. Wouldn't go out my way to rewatch this one. Ends the franchise though.
Too much a homage to itself, plot holes buses can fit through. Needed better plot
3/5
Opening sequence is good... So is all the other action sequences. Shame the plot is awful and fails to hold the film together.
Action scenes were great, but I didn't feel anything for the characters and the plot would fit on a postage stamp. I give it 2/5
And that is putting it mildly
Unfortunately the action it's not enough against the awful plot
#MyReview
Havoc
Go back to the drawing board for a complete rewrite.
A main girl is kick ass, but forgets that later on. Too much shakey cam for my liking, plus a plot that someone threw up after a bad night drinking thinking it was amazing.
Just rewatch his other films (e.g
The Raid)

G20
Bar was set low - better than expected. Appalling British portrayal
Though still very predictable, action and camera work was great. Characters OK
Just lost it in the last 10 minutes and became 'unbelievable'
Better than a lot of Netflix/Amazon Originals
3/5

Triangle of Sadness
Could have easily cut 45-60 mins from this film.
Had some funny parts and interest role reversal elements.
But on the whole due to its length, I was utterly bored by it

Juror #2
Highly annoying - key elements of the story are done off screen, too simplistic and annoying.
If you want a proper jury drama than watch 12 Angry Men. Which is an amazing film and would happily watch time and again.
But not this rubbish

The Substance
OMG - Demi & Margaret are amazing in this film. Don't watch this if you want something nice and gentle.
This is a reflection of how men see women and the lengths someone would go to keep relevant.
Lost me a bit in the last 10 mins, went a bit too far, but I get it
4/5

The Wild Robot
Utterly loved this film and really grew to love all the characters and believed in them. Lost itself a tad at the end, else it would be a 5.
A few story issues if you think about them - don't
I would love to have a Robot like this, same director as HTTYDragon.

Cuckoo
Nice little thriller, modern day but feels like the 80's
Confused my the motive of some characters, though script was good on the whole and kept me hooked. Loses it a bit in the 3rd act.
Worth watching, but not for the collection
3/5
